Abstract:Background
Two cymothoid isopod species, Livoneca redmanii Leach, 1818 and Anilocra alloceraea Koelbel, 1878, have been discovered throughout the research period. These species have been morphologically compared to other closely related species. Their species sequences have been determined using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene fragments and compared to previously identified Livoneca and Anilocra species. The present study aims to provide a detailed morphological descript… Show more
